Thanks for the Help,
I have no control over the XML. it is exported from a vehicle management program in order to put the details of vehicles onto a website.

I have generated a couple of variables to use later on in the script, once the Vehicle processing has happened.

Do i have to use the "my" before variables, i have not in the past and things seemed to work, however i have seen some scripts that do use it

I will have a look at the XSLT, but i might have found the answer to my problem in another post on here.

just need to work out what to do if the XML field is Blank.

Cheers
